They are delicious as a snack or if you can resits eating them you could add them to a steak sandwich. Oh yes that is pure heaven!!!!!

A few months ago Stew went on a business trip to Cape Town. Our daily text correspondence went like a bit like this:

Day 1
Stew: “This is my office for the day x”

Stew: Sends photo of a sparkling swimming pool and bright blue sky

Me: “Wow, gorgeous! It’s raining here! Not very spring like yet! x”

Day 2
Stew: “I think I could happily live with this view forever, it is amazing x”

Stew: Sends photo of the end of a large bed with the sea glistening out of the window

Me: “Wow, stunning! x”

Me: Sends photo of goat looking in at my bedroom window

It pretty much continued like that for the who time he was away!

There were also a few conversations about the boys but when our communication got really good was at about 6am!!! I would wake up to pictures of dinner!

Massive plates of amazing food, fabulous wines and loads of photos of menus! He knows me well!!! I had virtual meals in some of the nicest restaurants that week. 😉

One of the things he raved and raved about were shoe string onion rings. And I promised to make them at home. I have made them a few times now and they are not the prettiest thing to photograph!!! You want them to go for a nice crispy golden colour, which just doesn’t take a great photo!! But I am sharing them anyway as they taste amazing!!!!! Well I say you want then nice and golden, they taste really good when they are a light golden colour too, but you don’t get quite as much crunch.

A bad photo just means I will have to make them again and try taking another photo! But for now I will just leave you with these!!! As they are too amazing not to share!!!

Need Metric Measurements?Use the options below to toggle between cups and grams (if relevant)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 onions
  • 2 litre neutral oil (sunflower/vegetable/canola)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 tsp salt (see notes)
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 3/4 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground sage

Instructions

  • Mix the milk and apple cider vinegar together in a large bowl.
  • Add the egg and whisk to combine then set aside.
  • Peel the onions and then slice as finely as you can manage.
  • Separate the onion rings into the milk mixture and leave them to stand for 30 minutes.
  • pour the oil into a heavy based pan and bring the temperature of the oil up to 190ºC/375ºF (or use your deep fat fryer)
  • Combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder and sage together in a large bowl.
  • Drain the onion slices out of the milk and then add them into the seasoned flour.
  • Mix well to coat.
  • Tip the mixture into a colander to remove excess flour (which will burn easily in your oil)
  • Work in batches, deep fry the onions for a couple of minutes until golden.
  • Drain on kitchen towel and then enjoy with a little bit of garlic mayo.

Notes

In most parts of the world 3 tsp = 1 tbsp. (It doesn't in Australia!)
